Scary Story:
My grandfather told me about how he used to have a twin sister, and how once day they were out playing together in one of the fields behind their house. It was midday and there wasn't a thing in the world that they had to care about - given it was summer. The two of them had been playing tag, taking turns chasing one another around, slowly inching further and further away from home and into the open field.

All at once, though, there was a strange popping noise and a flash of blue light, and his sister was gone. All that was left in her place was a small pit in the ground and scorch marks. Terrified, he ran back home to his parents to tell them what happened. Upon recounting his story, though, both of them looked down at him in confusion. 'You've never had a sister,' they told him, 'you've always been an only child.'

In confusion, he looked around, starting to notice how all the family photos on the walls had suddenly changed. His sister was no longer in them. It was only him and his parents. He knew he wasn't wrong though. He HAD a sister. You don't just go living the entire 12 years of your life with someone and forget about them just like that!

Even now, Grandpa is still adamant that he had a sister, and that something happened to her. He's even shown me the spot in the ground left where it happened. However, all records and other family members either refuse to comment on it all or will deny her existence.

Scary Story:
Arcturus stares at you, testing your resolve before starting the story you asked for. “Well, you’ve been warned.

Once, when I was a plateling, I heard stories of a skeletal plate dragon that roamed the woods outside my family’s home. Some said it was the spirit of the builder of the house, others said it was the embodiment of the trees that were felled to build my huge home. One thing I knew, though, was that I had seen it.

I was outside playing with my father the first time it happened. A flash of red, a gleam of eyes, then it was gone.

The next time I saw it was a year later, when I went right outside the woods to draw them. A red muzzle, poking out from between the trees. I heard a growling noise, and then I saw a shadowy claw scratch the ground. I ran, and was inside the house in seconds.

To this day, I know that it’s till out there, but I’m ready. Next time I see it, I won’t be afraid. I’ll run right at it and see if it really is a ghost!

Scary Story: There was once a plate dragon who got lost in the woods. As they wandered around, trying to find the path back out, they started hearing spooky sounds. Leaves crinkling underfoot, even when they were not standing on any leaves themself; someone or something ominously saying "boooooo" every once in a while, and occasionally, muffled laughter. They also thought they saw something moving between the trees nearby a few times, but the shadows of the trees made it too difficult to actually see what it was. Soon they were getting quite anxious, thinking the forest was haunted or something, until they heard the sound of someone tripping and falling, followed by a quiet, "Ouch". Pushing aside their nervousness, they walked over to the source of the sound, and found one of their friends climbing to their feet and dusting themself off. It turned out their friend had been playing a prank on them the whole time!

Scary Story:

You may have heard of them, liminal spaces. Spaces in between time and space perhaps. They can be scary but also rather calm, but they are definitely unsettling to be in. I've been in one once. I didn't notice it at first. Gas stations ver late at night or early if you will can be like this. They are a popular place to slip between the cracks. You dont always realize how deafening the silence is. How empty everything is still you look around and there's no one around. Not a single car. Not a single cricket chirp. No noise til you approach the gas station and a strange song you dont know is playing in the supposed radio. You enter the store. It looks the same but it too is empty entirely. You dont see the cashier even, a low buzz from the lights echoes in your brain. You nervously get your snacks and wait at the counter. Eventually an employee appears. He looks like the normal guy your used to but something seems off about him. You realize your not sure he's human. You dont ay anything. He greets you normally but something about his voice also seems unfamiliar despite you recognizing his face. Ypu pay your dues silently and leave. He wishes you a good night. You nod in acknowledgement but are too afraid to let him hear your voice less he might take it. You walk back home. The crickets are still silent. A single car passes by. You wonder if anyone is driving it. You get home and lay in bed. Surely it's your bed. You made it home. But did you loose something?

Scary Story: On a night like any other, it was a nice and starry. Marine layer hovers lowly over, yet the breaks let the moon and it’s beautiful companions shine brilliantly. Relaxing on the couch seemed like the perfect activity after a long day.

As you plop down on the couch, the springs and frame groan. Typical for couch of its age. You reach for the remote and flick through the channels. Program after program, you stare a blankly as each flash of color and image pass you buy. The one time you want to relax, nothing interesting or fun decides to be on. After some more mindless scrolling, your channel surfing stops. Playing on the tv is a random ambience channel, you just realized you’ve managed to scrolls so far as the quad-digit channels. The video is of an aquatic setting, seems like something that’d be playing at the dentist. Relaxing sure, but it wasn’t terribly interesting and you still wanted to watch something other than fish swim occasionally. You figure the button must’ve gotten stuck and you mash it a bit, hoping it’d pop back into place. But alas, it didn’t work. You think to yourself it’s odd. You try turning it off with no success. You click buttons while aiming at all angles, high and low, far to the left, far to the right, but simply nothing works. A bead of nervous sweat rolls down your face. You think of the batteries. You don’t want to accept that the issue could be them. You had just put in those fresh new batteries yourself no more than a day ago. You remember purchasing the small pack of them, you remember peeling the cardboard back from the plastic front shell. Your heart rate picks up, realizing your crucial error.

With your shaky hands, you claw at the back covering, struggling with your recently trimmed fingernails. Each moment making you more and more anxious. Until finally you pull the cover off. The pit in your stomach grows. Nestled in the slots are… the old batteries. Without paying attention, you had thrown your new batteries away, confusing them for the drain ones. The labels between and old and new were subtle, but now under your anxious scrutiny, the difference are clear as day. Normally, a foolish mistake like that could simply be ignored and one could move on. Except, those batteries had been an investment and a pain to get. For reasons unknown, every store had been out of them. Forcing you to order them from an overpriced retailer online. Your beloved batteries were long gone by now and so was your hand earned cash. And yet, you’d have no choice… but to order them again.

Because nothing is scarier than wasted money in this economy xD

Scary Story: Juniper sat down beside Apparition, eager to share her story. “There is actually something really strange I experienced when I was a plateling. One Halloween night, I made myself miserable eating so much candy and decided it was time for bed.” she laughed. “Very typical for me, I loved sweets. According to my parents, I was sound asleep. However, I remember myself having really bad ‘nightmares’ that night. I still remember them vividly. I was exploring the forest with my family and somehow got separated. I wandered throughout the forest, calling their name, but there was no response. Everything around me was so loud. What I was hearing were normal sounds: trees rustling, birds cawing, and water splashing in the nearby lake, but it seemed amplified. The noises were so overbearing that I was covering my ears, screaming their name. I wasn’t too worried until it became dark. All the sounds I heard before stopped, and I was left wandering the dark woods in silence. Even the night sky seemed empty of stars.” her eyes shifted from Apparition to the ground, “I kept looking, when all of the sudden the silence was broken by a whispering of my name. I looked around, but my parents were nowhere to be found. The whispers continued and appeared to sound closer. Suddenly I could hear leaves rustling. I diverted my gaze into the tree line and my eyes met a pair of large, red eyes, staring directly at me. The eyes whispered my name once more before inching closer. My heart sank. I wanted to run but it felt like as though my body was paralyzed.” she frowned. “And that’s where the dream ended. Everything went black, but then became light. My eyes snapped open as my body jolted awake. My heart was pounding and I could feel my body drenched in sweat. I gripped my blanket and looked around the bedroom frantically. When I looked at the window, my body froze. All I could see within the darkness were the same large red eyes that I had seen in my nightmares.” she shivered. “They kept staring, never blinking. I covered my head with the blankets, screaming for my parents. When they came into the bedroom I told them what I saw in the window, my head still covered, but they said nothing was there.” she looked at Apparition before continuing, “Now, was I really dreaming?”

Scary Story:
Tap tap tap. Branches scratch the windows, scraping and banging like a monster trying to invade your safe home. Creaking stairs and howling wind. A plate dragon cowering under the covers. A door makes a cackling sound, laughing like a witch. A figure sneaks in the dark of night, darting from tree to tree, attempting to reach the house of another plate dragon. Jiggling the lock, the plate dragon ran around to the side of the house, trying the windows which were locked tightly. "Curses" said the plate dragon, before finding the cellar. "Aha!" It exclaimed, descending the stairs swiftly. Before it stood a terrifying statue, or at least it HOPED it was a statue. The plate dragon upstairs in its bed heard a scream, and burrowed further under the covers. The cellar was empty in the morning, except for yet another "statue".

Scary Story: this one was told to me by one of my summer camp counselors! it is and probably will always be one of my favorites hahaha

there once lived a man named joe. joe had just been given permission from his job to go on vacation, and he picked a nice hotel to stay in. when he was at the front desk checking in, the receptionist withheld the keys from joe so he couldn't leave without hearing what he had to say. the receptionist told joe, "do not leave your room after midnight until 6 in the morning." joe shrugged it off and took his keys. obviously it must be a silly little hoax.
the rest of the day went by smoothly, until he went to bed. that night, he could barely get any sleep. joe woke up in the middle of the night to the sounds of banging and scratching coming from outside his room. the clock had just ticked to 1:00 am.
joe got out of bed and opened the room door, peering out into the hallway. the noise seemed to be coming from room 11, so he headed there. joe peeked through the keyhole, but saw nothing except pure red, oddly bright aswell. it was probably just his eyes fooling him, joe thought. he got to his feet and went back to his room to go back to bed.
the next morning, joe walked up to the front desk and told the receptionist what had happened the night before.
wide-eyed, face full of fear; the receptionist told him this: "there was a legend about a woman who died in that room, and her ghost was cursed to spend the rest of eternity there. she had one defining feature; bright red eyes."
😱
